Today we took a bus to Sai Kung then to Choi Hung, We walked around looking at the fish and the meat and vegetable markets there. Got on the bus again and ended up back in Sai Kung having lunch in a Thai restaurant; rice and mixed seafood it was very good for 28 Hong Kong dollars, what is about two pounds twenty pence .The waitress filled up our glasses with water and ice a few times. We then went for a drink in the Duke of York pub again, this place seems to become Ricky’s new favourite pub, it is just a bit far from home. Weather is hot with a blue sky; perspiration dripped into my eyes a few times whilst we were walking . It is hard to adapt after the Weather we have had in Edinburgh this year. Our next stop was the Wellcome supermarket. It is a very clean and well stocked supermarket. Ricky got a free can of beer handed to him for some promotion or other purposes? We are not sure. I sat on a seat while Ricky went off to buy some fish at the fish market. The fish was still moving when we got home. I got told to go and sit down, after saying the poor fish should be back in the sea. Ricky is the chef to night, Catriona and Jørgen had a barbaque at school to day, so they weren’t supposed to eat at home with us. Ricky cook for an army anyway so if they would have been hungry there was something for them as well.
Later we are all went for a drink in the beach bar, Catriona meet a lady at school today, amazing that both her and her husband was at the Nene College in North Hampton, and at the same time as Catriona was studying for her PGCE, the other lady was studying accounting, and her husband was studying leather technology. The couple are married, she is from India and he is from Denmark so Jørgen and he –Kris- enjoyed a chat in Danish. Catriona chatted to her -named Sonja- and the couple had just arrived back to Hong Kong from Italy, and has now moved into a rented accommodation in Sai Kung. Sonja will be working in the schools library. More guy’s appeared and at the end it got more and more like a party in the Beach pub, Jørgen knows a lot of people, some meet him just down the steps at the at the watering hole in Tai Wan village. A young woman asked Catriona; “will you dance with me?” Catriona said no. Then the young woman approached me, and in a soft American accent she asked me. I said I can’t dance, and popped around the corner to hide behind Ricky, but what do you know, she didn’t give up and I danced onto the restaurants floor (and I did enjoy it) I think her boyfriend didn’t like to dance constantly. I know the feeling wanting to dance, but couldn’t, as I’ve been there and worn the T-shirt. We went home for a late fishmeal, after cleaning up, Ricky went down to put the fish waste in the bin. We don’t want that smell in the morning; do we?
